“ Excellent Indian cuisine. Service was okay, they were very busy, but our waitress was super sweet and attentive. A must try cocktail is the tropical berry with a side shot of grand Marnier, yummy. Chicken Heavenly drumsticks were just the right spice and so good. We had the chicken butter curry which was creamy and delightful. Their authentic vegetable rice with chicken. They bring it out in a copper urn which stayed very hot throughout the meal. Dessert, well what a wonderful way to display a chocolate decadent mousse, under a smoking Cloche. It is pricey but for a treat out worth it. ”
“ The service was average which is a bit disappointing for a fine dining restaurant. They took a whileeeee to take our order but were quick to bring it out. Beware that they do not offer anyyyy complementary rice or roti or naan with their entree dishes that you order. The ambiance is elegant and cozy and I would recommend asking to get seated next to the windows and maybe go during sunset time. I was in love with the kebab platter! The chicken was perfectly made and was moist and each type of kebab had its unique flavor! 10/10 I also tried the butter chicken 8.5/10 and paneer tikka 7/10 masala which was very yummy! I preferred the butter chicken over the paneer even tho I'm usually a paneer person! ”
“ Total hidden jem overlooking the lake and lakeside chapel near the Adriatica in Mckinney. Bring a friend and share the kebab dish. You will not regret it! We ordered a garlic naan to go with and definitely taste the garlic sauce. Every kebab had a distinct savory flavor and we just kept wanting more. We will return to try the other dishes, just the aromas walking in was unbelievable. ”

“ Loved the tandoori platter Food is nice Ambience is very cozy Service is decent It's in a beautiful location ”
“ I was so impressed with this place. I met some coworkers here to celebrate a completed successful project. I like spicy food. I also like some Indian food. I must say this is the best Indian food I've ever eaten. It was so spicy and delicious. The drinks are also amazing. It was really a fun evening. If you like Indian or spicy food you must come here. I will definitely be back!! ”
“ Very upscaled Indian dining place with chef's menu. We went there for Father's Day lunch and were not waited for more than 20mins after seating. One of us had to talk to the manager to get some attention. However rest of the lunch was amazing! Loved the nutty delight chicken and chilli bites paneer and shrimp. Their tandoori skewers were amazing and nicely seasoned and soft. So the best part of their food is that they have limited options and those options are amazing in flavor and taste. Even aesthetic wise amazing! Believe the only thing which could be improved is adding a kids menu. There was nothing as such for kids and that's a bummer for families who dine with children. Great ambiance but limited restrooms! ”
